Posted on: March 6 2013

Does a toothpaste exist without carbohydrates?

For a child on a ketogen diet that avoids epileptic seizures, all carbohydrates (also glycerol and sorbitol) should be avoided according to the Micromedex. Could you help us further with a magistal formula for a toothpaste?

Answer

I suppose after CMC does not regard it as a carbohydrate considering its indigestibility.
R/Na CMC MV or HV 1.5 g
Na sacccharinate 50mg
nacyclamate 100mg
sorbic acid or nipa-combination 0.1%
Calcium hydrogen phosphate or calcium carbonate 30g
Aerosil 2g
after lauryslsulfate 1.5 g
water up to 100g
this Can still be improved with an aroma of choice. Fluoride cannot be added due to the presence of Ca salts!
